Ali Alansari, a Senior Technical Specialist at AMPM Center, has been recognized for his work at the Functional Materials Design, Discovery & Development (FMD³) Laboratory. Congratulations Ali on winning Individual Lab Safety Award organized by the Health, Safety and Environment Department (HSE) at KAUST.

This award recognizes exemplary practices in complying with safety protocols in a research laboratory.  "I am very honored and grateful to have been selected for this award. This means that they trust me and value my daily work assuring a safe working environment for the researchers", Ali notes.

Managing a laboratory with more than three hundred chemicals, some of them very toxic and corrosive, is not an easy task. Ali explains that the only way to avoid accidents is to comply with all procedures, be organized and responsible. "The first thing I do in the morning is to check that everything works properly and complying with the requisite safety measures prior my colleagues start their workday", he adds.

FMD ³Lab is headed by AMPM Center Director, Prof. Mohamed Eddaoudi, who congratulates Ali on his well-deserved award and notes: "Ali is dedicated, committed and pays attention to details, proffering him with the key perquisites for a successful safety officer. Congrats Ali and keep the momentum going". 

Ali recognizes that teamwork is essential to create a safe work environment. For this, he thanks his colleagues for their help and cooperation. "The team is important and at FMD³ research Lab we work as a united team and always help each other. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to each one of them. This award is for the entire FMD³ team".

Congratulations, Ali. We are proud of your achievement!
